MMT old timer here. A close friend of mine's grandmother, aunt and uncle are stranded. They've got knee deep water in the downstairs of their house. They are at 11639 Idlebrook Dr. in Houston. If anybody could go pick them up, I'll buy you a beer. Please text me if you can help: 9039263049

Re: Houston Water Rescue Thread

Anybody know if authorities are welcoming the help of citizens with boats? I can round up 2-3 boats and head that way from TN but don't want to get in the way. Not sure who to contact to see if we can help.

Houston Water Rescue Thread

It's hard to get around to rescue areas. Fire hydrant put a pretty good dent in my boat. Broke a finger last night but my motor is acting up now. All along the interstates the people are being rescued. The people that are further back are the ones that need help. I don't know the area but rivers are coming up. Other areas are draining. If you want to help you just have to get in your boat and go. I've had law enforcement or fire department in my boat the whole time. Houston pd was even nice enough to put me up in a hotelLast night. Gonna leave the rest for yall

Re: Houston Water Rescue Thread

You folks be careful out there. Looks like some of the Katrina evacuees never left. Personally, I would not be in a situation like this without firepower to defend myself.

That's a good point Kirk, and why I've chosen to stay pretty local to me for now as far as helping out. I'm preparing to have to go that direction in the next few days to assist as long as my place stays dry and my people here are safe. That's still priority #1. Everyone should help where they can IMO, but not at the expense of neglecting their own.

-everyone stay safe out there no matter where you're at. This isn't even close to being over with.

Re: Houston Water Rescue Thread

Does anyone have an idea of where the best place would be to go with a boat Friday afternoon? Lake Charles area? I'm in Florida and would need to know where to go with my GTR!

Re: Houston Water Rescue Thread

Which one of y'all is this? Looks like a willett or uncle j with a GTR

The water receded enough this afternoon for me to get to my boat. I want to get out there and help as soon as possible, but I am not certain where help is needed. Does anyone know what staging areas will need more boats tomorrow? Thanks.
